Beau Jocque & The Zydeco Hi-Rollers: Beau Jocque (vocals, accordion); Ray Mouton, Kent Pierre Augustine (guitar); Mike Lockett (keyboards); Chuck "Chucky" Bush (bass, background vocals); Eddie Bodin (drums); Wilfred "Caveman" Pierre (rubboard, background vocals).

Recorded at Master Trak Studios, Crowley, Louisiana. Includes liner notes by Ben Sandmel.

It opens with a funkified cover of the O'Kaysion's 1968 "I'm a Girl Watcher," sung--leeringly--in a basso of almost Beefheartian dimensions, and ends with a high-tech disco remix. In other words, this is NOT your father's zydeco album. Which is not to say that Beau Jocques can't get rootsy when he wants too; the instrumental workout "The Second Line" and the charming "Pine Point Trail Ride" (sung in French) are as traditional as it gets. Mostly, though, the music here is contemporary R&B and blues (a B. B. King-esque "Rock Me, Baby") with an accordion up front providing Cajun seasoning.
